For some reason it was the books of Robert Harris.

Can't remember why and now I'm all embarrassed about it all.

I've recently read Archangel, The Ghost, The Fear Index and Fatherland. All well written and entertaining.

I mean to say, it's not like he's Jefferey bastard Archer, is it?

Boy was my face metaphorically red for a while there!

But now I'm back to pale and interesting. Literally.


Still not been to, or had a beverage from a Starbucks, though.

Nandos.


Had my first visit to one in Norwich a few weeks back. Didn't know the form so a colleague guided me through the self-help delights of multiple sauces and endless pop-refills. As an experience, I think I left it too late.




Good to see you HB.

Self checkouts at the supermarket, it's not hassle free and slower than a normal checkout along with the soulless experience half the items failed when scanning...


Shan't be doing that again anytime soon, especially as chatting to it like it was a real person got me loads of funny looks (apparently they have done nothing recently and plan to do nothing but work this weekend!)

    • Fair points, not arguing with you on them.  What people forget is that immigrants or low skilled workers do the jobs the home population don't want to do and without those jobs being done, things very quickly grind to a halt, i.e. hospital cleaners, all very necessary, but I'd have thought the majority are on minimum wage. And Minimum Wage (35hrs/wk) isn't exactly what I'd call minimum. Just over £21K, easily double and a bit more than what I get in monthly pension income to live off.
    • Well he couldn’t deliver anything better than a poor brexit. Because no such thing exists 
    • Fair points jazzer. But it begs the question, on what information are people basing their opinion? because if it’s x or the right wing media the of course they will believe nothing has happened but people who claim to be motivated by rising immigration numbers are either ignorant of or don’t care the those numbers have dropped significantly since Labour got in Hospital waiting lists are finally showing improvements after years of getting worse people on minimum wage are better off We haven’t had a random general election or new prime minister just months after the last one  compare that to Tory chaos Important relations with other countries (important for long term trade and growth) have improved under labour given the size of the mess they inherited it’s far better than many give credit for  and the prospect of a Badenoch and/or farage govt returning us to the chaos of last 10 years? No thanks (I could do a long list of things Labour have done wrong or badly but that’s for another thread. I did not vote for Labour, but all things considered they are a massive improvement on what came before. Unfortunately we have a bunch of far right agitators kicking off around the country because they are cry babies which gives impression country is going downhill  when it’s really not)  
    • he's not on the general radar - not with the Labour tax scandal and the new Tories wanting to buddy up with Starmer (on their terms). if anything, he's a irrelevant distraction from some real alarms
